A field experiment was conducted in two sessons to find out a suitable intercrop in banana fields of Vaigai-Periyar River Command aroa. Short duration pulses like greengram increased not only the bunch yield of banana but also gave higher economic returns. Among vegetables, Bhendi was a profitable inter crop.

Diseases in Intercropping Systems
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2013Intercropping, the simultaneous cultivation of multiple crop species, has been used throughout history and remains common among farmers of small landholdings in the tropics. One benefit of this practice may be disease control. In phenomenological research comparing disease in monocrops and intercrops, primarily due to foliar fungi, intercropping ...

Benefits of intensive agricultural intercropping
Nature Plants, 2020The need for increased crop yields has led to growing interest and research in agricultural intensification, which has a myriad of environmental impacts. Intercropping can bring the benefits of intensification within a reasonable footprint.

Facilitative root interactions in intercrops
Plant and Soil, 2005Facilitation takes place when plants ameliorate the environment of their neighbours, and increase their growth and survival. Facilitation occurs in natural ecosystems as well as in agroecosystems. We discuss examples of facilitative root interactions in intercropped agroecosystems; including nitrogen transfer between legumes and non-leguminous plants ...

A mathematical model for formulating intercrop proportions for intercropping systems' design
Ecological Modelling, 1985Abstract The concept of land equivalent coefficient (LEC), formulated for the valuation of intercrop interactions and productivity in simple to complex crop mixtures, is further employed in this work to formulate intercrop proportions for intercropping research based on the concept of expected LEC.
